The Overview page provides a canvas where you can add widgets from a library to create a personalized dashboard for monitoring your container clusters, tailored to your organization’s needs.

The landing page, titled

Overview

, contains the following elements that enable efficient navigation and effective oversight of Container Cluster Management:

The dashboard contains multiple tabs that present distinct views tailored to individual requirements within the organization. Supported views include the following:

Capacity & Utilization Overview:
Limited to subscribers assigned to the Capacity & Performance Engineer role, this view enables capacity engineers to analyze clusters in the context of over- and under-utilization and overcommitted clusters. For more information go to Capacity Planning Dashboard.

Container Cluster Management supports a data filter to enable the selection of data you want to display in the dashboard, Operational Insights and the Cluster Overview page. To filter displayed data, select the filter icon under the header. All graphic displays are adjusted to accommodate the filtering criteria. The following filter categories are supported:

When you apply your filter selections, the service displays the selected items in the filter field below the filter icon. You can dismiss any or all of the filter categories by clicking the

X

to the right of the category name; the service updates the dashboard accordingly.

The dashboard view can be customized and saved, making it easy to compare applications' performance. It is also a great option to maintain the current statistical parameters and revisit them later.

The

Clear view

button serves as a reset button for the current customized filtered view; any unsaved customized view of the current dashboard returns to its default state when Clear View is selected.

The

Custom view

button comes with an expanded selection of options that allow more actions to be performed in the dashboard:

Save New view:

By selecting Save New view, all currently available filters are saved, including the chosen timeframes and table settings selections. A confirmation window requires inputting a name for the customized dashboard view and selecting whether you want it to be the current default view.

Update view:

Selecting this option allows updating the current dashboard, including the filters, timeframes, and table settings using different parameters; this is not applicable if the current view is a default dashboard view.

Delete view:

This option will delete the current customized dashboard view; however, like

Update view

, it will not apply to a default dashboard view.

The Container Cluster Management landing page presents critical cluster information at a glance in the form of four widgets and a table view:

On the Dashboard page, the Alerts section provides alerts for the clusters controlled by the user across various cloud platforms. The user can navigate to the cluster alerts page to evaluate alerts from any available cluster table view by selecting the desired cluster in the table.

The landing page contains four Operational Insights widgets that provide insights into your IT estate:

Each widget navigates to the Insights Summary by category page. The page provides statistical data to help you assess the state of your IT estate using status data and provides access to details regarding specific clusters, complete with configuration recommendations. Using it, you can balance resources and take preemptive actions as needed, enabling a more nimble approach to reliability and efficiency.

More information is available at Operational Insights.

The donut chart shows information about the health of the clusters for various providers. The size of the donut chart is in proportion to healthy and unhealthy clusters. Healthy clusters are represented in green color and unhealthy clusters are shown in red. By hovering over a cloud provider on the Heatmap, the tooltip provides:

The Geomap widget displays information about cluster health based on their location. On the Geomap, the number of clusters in each region is displayed. When you hover over a clustered region, the tooltip reveals the region's name and the number of healthy and unhealthy clusters.

When a specific provider is selected in the Cluster Health by Provider widget, the cluster table is updated with information about the selected cluster or clusters. The same behavior occurs when filtering the Cluster by Region widget.

The Running Clusters table displays the following information about the cluster:

The Health Column contains a binary designator of each cluster as healthy (green) or unhealthy (red). If a cluster is healthy, the designator is inactive. If a cluster is deemed unhealthy, the designator is active, allowing users to click the designator and navigate to a details page that provides specific information that indicates which health thresholds have been breached.

The following criteria are used to gauge cluster health:
